Description
A Moment of War by Laurie Lee is a harrowing account of one young Englishman's experiences as a Republican soldier in Spain's civil war. Imprisoned and almost executed for suspected espionage, he eventually joined the International Brigade to fight against his own side. This powerful narrative, crafted by a poet, offers a stark portrayal of the boredom, cruelty, and terror of war. Lee's story is one of survival and resilience, set against the backdrop of a doomed conflict that would leave its mark on him forever. Published in 2014, this book is part of Laurie Lee's acclaimed trilogy, which also includes Cider with Rosie.
